After more than a month of detention, Giovanni Barreca, the man accused of the triple murder of his wife and two of his children aged 5 and 16, as well as the couple Massimo Carandente and Sabrina Fina, is still struggling with a sort of arrest. mystical delirium of Altavilla MIlicia. This is what his lawyer Giancarlo Barracato says and it also emerges from the Pagliarelli prison in Palermo that Barreca is convinced that evil has taken possession of his cellmate and that he wants to free him. On March 1, investigating judge Valeria Gioeli accepted the lawyer's request to submit her client to a psychiatric assessment. At the end of the days of torture, which culminated in the murders, in the family villa, Barreca had retreated into impenetrable silence, only to later deny the murders and insist on the presence of demons in the house. According to an investigation hypothesis, the 54-year-old mason was convinced of the necessity of violence against his family on the part of the Sicilian couple Carandente and Fina, who, after the murder of his wife, moved in with him.
Phone calls from Carandente and Fina
During these days, Barreca's daughter, aged 17, also played a role by admitting her responsibilities. But investigators have not yet understood to what extent he participated in the torture. One element of the investigation that investigators are examining in recent days are the phone calls that Carandente and Fina allegedly made several times on those days from Barreca's house. It is important for investigators to trace the recipients of the calls to determine if they are other religious fanatics and if they were aware of what was happening in the house. In the coming days, the suspect will meet defense consultants in his cell, including criminologist Roberta Bruzzone, who will have to express their opinion on his mental state.
